Holidays are for family

What a crazy week. Starting the weekend before Christmas, we had a small family spending some special time here at the Tree House. My thought? "great way to savor the Christmas spirit". 

Our family celebrations started on Christmas morning. We traveled to Tarry's parents to meet the entire family and spent a wonderful day with then. We are 21 this year and expecting two babies before the end of march. Let's just say the house is getting a little small :)

Our immediate family, along with husbands, girlfriends, and grandchildren, all gathered at our house on friday evening. Oh, lest I forget a st. Bernard, a retriever mix, and my parents. We ate, opened gifts, drove the great grandparents home, and everyone else spent the night. Yes, now I know why I keep this big house. 

First thing Saturday morning we got dressed and went sledding on the hill between the houses. My children, along with their friends, all grew up sledding on this hill. It brought back some really fond memories and the newest generation has learned a little more about fun at the lake.

Just can't get enough of these people. Love them and wish we could spend more times like these.

Gotta love a warm day. Started the process of screening the covered porch on the Treehouse today. Painting tomorrow, hopefully the screens are close to being ready. Should make for some great times this summer without the bugs.
